→Burning churches was a crowning political effect?: looks good
: Definitely not. Although there may have been Churches burned I think without further background information that claim makes no sense in the context of Enlightenment thought. I think the original contributor wanted to highlight that the Enlightenment had negative effects on the French Revolution, which it did but there are more tactful ways of writing that. I will work on it. [[User:Churchofthetrail|Church of the Trail]] 09:54, 14 June 2011 (EDT)

::It sounds like cleaned up langauge to begin with. "The crowning achievement was the burning of churches" is what the author probably intended to say. The whole sentence needs to go, unless it can be replaced with something <ehem> more NPOV. [[User:RobSmith|Rob Smith]] 21:40, 14 June 2011 (EDT)

::::Looks good. "of, for, and by the people" is not necessarily contemporaneous language, and a murderous mob isn't really democratic, but it's something we can work with. [[User:RobSmith|Rob Smith]] 22:10, 14 June 2011 (EDT)
